WHY IT MATTERS
GOOD PRINT STARTS WITH
GOOD ARTWORK.
SHARPER PRINT QUALITY
Correct resolution and properly prepared images help produce cleaner, sharper printed results.
MORE ACCURATE COLOUR
Correct colour setup helps reduce unexpected differences between your artwork and the finished print.
CORRECT SIZE & BLEED
Proper sizing and bleed help ensure important content isn't trimmed and artwork finishes cleanly at the edges.
FEWER PRODUCTION DELAYS
Print-ready files reduce artwork corrections, back-and-forth communication and unnecessary production delays.
BEFORE YOU SEND YOUR FILES
PREPARING YOUR
ARTWORK.
A few simple checks before sending your artwork can help avoid delays and ensure your files are ready for production.
Not sure if your file is print-ready
Send it through to us. We can check your artwork and let you know if any adjustments are needed before production.
ASK US ABOUT YOUR ARTWORK
CORRECT FINISHED SIZE
Set your artwork to the correct finished size before sending it for production.
ADD BLEED
Allow bleed around artwork that prints to the edge so trimming can be completed cleanly.
USE HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGES
Use good-quality, high-resolution images to help avoid pixelated or blurry printed results.
CHECK YOUR COLOUR SETUP
Prepare colours appropriately for print and be aware that printed colour may differ from what you see on screen.
CHECK FONTS & TEXT
Make sure fonts are embedded or converted appropriately and check all spelling, contact details and important text.
SUPPLY A SUITABLE FILE
PDF is generally preferred for print-ready artwork. We can assist if you're unsure which file format to supply.
